Introduction

Real estate is the world’s largest store of wealth, an asset class worth over $400 trillion, representing nearly 75% of global wealth. Yet despite its scale, influence, and economic importance, real estate remains one of the least digitized industries. Transactions are slow, fragmented, expensive, and dependent on intermediaries and paper-based workflows that have not evolved meaningfully in decades.

At the same time, blockchain has matured into a global coordination layer capable of transforming how assets are issued, exchanged, verified, and settled. The rise of tokenized money, programmable finance, and decentralized identity has demonstrated that a new financial infrastructure is possible, one that is transparent, composable, and globally interoperable.

However, generic blockchains were not built for real estate. Existing ecosystems lack the compliance primitives, regulated workflows, identity frameworks, data transparency, and cross-venue liquidity architecture required for real-world property markets. Tokenization platforms have emerged, but operate as isolated silos with limited interoperability, fragmented liquidity pools, and incomplete lifecycle management capabilities.

Integra is designed to solve this.
